So, we are safely ensconced in our new house in Chattanooga - it's all over except for the unpacking. Posting will probably continue to be sparse while we finish the unpacking and settling in, and then I hope to get back into a more regular blogging rhythm.

But, I wanted to share a quick thought with you. Aside from being closer to family (which was the primary reason we moved to Chattanooga), here is another very good reason to move to Chattanooga - these are the internet speeds TO MY HOUSE:

That's just shy of 100x faster than the Comcast connection I had in DC (download speed only; the upload speed is about 300x faster). Granted, FiOS had just launched in our DC neighborhood 2 months prior to us moving out, which would have been a big improvement over Comcast - with FiOS, I could have gotten 500Mbps down / 100Mbps up ... for $305/month. Here, I get 1Gbps down / 1Gbps up for $70/month.

About This Blog

I am one of the largely nameless, faceless bureaucrats who work tirelessly (and largely thanklessly) to help ensure that poor people don't go hungry - and a billion other tasks government bureaucrats do that no one notices until something stops working. Living and working in DC is making me angry - and I vent my anger as thoughtfully as I can. Well, OK, maybe I'm not terribly angry ... but I thought it was a good name for a blog. If you're also a bureaucrat, or angry, or thoughtful, I'm happy to entertain guest posts.
